I retired last year, so now I am free to sew (almost) as much as I want to. My goal is to complete my UFO's, and I said that I would finish them before starting new projects. Last year I did complete 3 UFO's and was really on a roll. That didn't last because I signed up for a Tropical Rainbow class. Before I even finished the TR, my DD announced her engagement and wedding date, so I put the TR aside and made her a DWR for a wedding gift which took months to complete because we had house guests for four months. Now, I'm back on the TR. After I finish it, I plan to complete a few more UFO's. I also have lots of sets of fabric set aside for specific patterns, but now I can't remember what and the pattern is not with the fabric, so that's another dilemma I'll have to decide what to do.
My theory is that I won't live long enough to sew all the things I want to get done, but in the meantime I'll die trying, and have fun at it as well - and not stress over it! I don't think most DH understand how or why we love sewing as much as we do! Mine said to me one day, "I don't understand why you take a whole piece of fabric, cut it in little pieces, then sew it back together." LOL
